So I tried cooking some chicken thighs because people keep talking about how good they are, and I have to say I'm not a fan. Kinda slimy, weird texture, and a little gamey. I don't get the hype. I think I'll stick with good old fashioned white meat going forward.

>>21782288>chicken thighs are white meatNope. They are dark meat, through and through.OP, they are not gamey, they're just dark meat chicken. with dark meat flavor, and often used for boneless chinese food for being more forgiving for higher heat cooking. On the bone, they hold up better in simmery skillets and casseroles.Lesson learned. Only make what you enjoy the most. That's breasts. One item that is in fact "white meat" are the wings, strangely enough.

>>21782283You need to cook them longer.
>>21782294>>21782752Basically this. Also, I prefer bone-in thighs but can't find them as easily. Try cooking them longer and bone-in, they're fucking delicious.
